The rate of fire of the ZU-23 is about 2000 rounds/min, which also allows it to confidently destroy lightly armored vehicles, infantry, and enemy aircraft.

The main goal of my crew is to adjust and destroy aerial enemies, ensuring clear skies. In most cases, the aerial target does not fulfill its task: either it flies back to its own, or it is destroyed.

In addition, the paired anti-aircraft gun on the MT-LB allows for mobile suppression of enemy positions with dense fire, while motorized rifle units advance forward.
